Gwinnett Kroger Store Closing Tuesday

SNELLVILLE, GA — A Kroger store in Gwinnett County is closing its doors Tuesday after nearly 30 years in business.

The supermarket, at Highway 78 and Bethany Church Road in Snellville, is offering deep discounts to liquidate its inventory on its last day in business.

Company officials announced last month that the store would be closing due to declining sales. The store's 118 employees will reportedly be considered for reassignment to other Kroger locations.

The nearest Kroger store is six miles away on Scenic Highway in Snellville.

All items remaining in the store are 50 percent off, a spokesman told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
